I’m wondering how the editor supports creating DITA relationship tables
Sure.
– I couldn’t find any documentation on it. Can you provide some steps or
a simple example?
We provide no steps or examples because creating DITA relationship
tables works like creating any other XML element, simply the DITA
relationship tables look like tables:
In order to add a reltable:
1) Open or create a DITA map.
2) Select the last child of your map.
This is done by clicking on the last element (e.g. a topicref) and also
possibly by clicking on the name of one of its ancestors in the node
path bar (e.g. click word "backmatter" in the node path bar).
3) Select menu item "Edit|Insert After" (notice "Insert *After*") or
press keyboard shortcut Ctrl-W.
4) A list of valid elements is displayed. Select "reltable" from this list.
There are special commands to add rows and columns to a reltable.
Therefore a relrow can be added as follows:
1) Click inside a relcell; this typically selects a topicref contained
inside it.
2) Click on word "relrow" in the node path bar to select the row;
3) Select menu item "Edit|Insert After" or press Ctrl-W.
4) A list of valid elements is displayed. Select "relrow" from this list.
A column is added by adding several relcells. A relcell can be added as
follows:
1) Click inside a relcell; this typically selects a topicref contained
inside it.
2) Click on word "relcell" in the node path bar to select the cell.
3) Select menu item "Edit|Insert After" or press Ctrl-W.
4) A list of valid elements is displayed. Select "relcell" from this list.
XMLmind XML Editor works always the same whatever the type of the
document being edited, therefore if you learn the basics, you cannot be
stuck:

We currently have no demand to make the creation of DITA relationship
tables in XMLmind XML Editor quicker and easier. Note that it would not
take long for us or for a third-party consultant to customize XMLmind
XML Editor in order to add editing commands specialized in reltables.
That's why we'll probably add such reltable editing commands to a future
version of XMLmind XML Editor (useful feature; quite simple to implement).
